Most Intelligent Marvel Women?

Okay Marvel has Reed Richards, Iron Man, Black Panther, Dr. Doom, Hank Pym, Hank Mccoy, Hulk, Spider-Man as some of the most intelligent characters. What about intelligent women? The only one I can think of with a genius level i.q. is Kitty Pryde. Any others?

@Decoy Elite: There is a topic in the battle forum about second tier intelligent characters. I noticed that neither in the top tier or the second tier was there a woman mentioned. So I was just wondering. Alyssa Moy that is friends with Reed Richards is a genius. But she isn't really a hero or anything.

Regular Sue Storm is supposed to be incredibly intelligent and is written as such in many stories, then you have Alyssa Moy, Athena, Val Richards, Kavita Rao, Suzi Endo, Monica Rappicini, Kitty, Moira McTaggart, Monet, Sage, Maya Hansen, and Nightshade and i could go on AND well the biggest problem here is certain writers who want to ironically dumb down intelligence as a trait and pander to comic fans love of lists and ranking characters against each other you get stories with supposedly the 8 smartest people on the Earth who are conveniently really popular characters who are noted for being smart, when yeah, not how intelligence really works as far as comparisons and listings and you end up with stories that perpetuate such - I'll save my rant. lol

@charlieboy: If Sue isn't a scientist why did she go on the space trip with Reed? I know Ben was the Pilot, and thought Reed plus Sue were the Scientist. Johnny was the only useless one, or so I thought. (+)

@SC: Thank you. I forgot about a lot of these characters. Suzi Endo is Cybermancer right? Totally forgot about Moira too.

Yes very good, also The Seeker recently.

@Yung ANcient One: Because Sue was his girlfriend. She has never been a scientist except in the Ultimate universe.

In a few Fantastic Four stories some writers have tried to insert the idea that is incredibly intelligent, and if she prioritized her goals as such she would have been one of the greatest scientists/minds of her generation. It also meant that Reed actually had someone intelligent enough in a partner to bounce complex and difficult ideas off of which sort of sounds healthier than Reed and Sue being intellectually incompatible with each other, but above plot character aspects can tend to be forgotten or ignored by some writers.

@Yung ANcient One: I believe Sue was trying to become and actress or model or something to that effect. I am surprised you didn't know about Kitty. She has always been portrayed that way. Not in some of the cartoons and such. But always in X-Men and Excalibur.

Reed actually had someone intelligent enough in a partner to bounce complex and difficult ideas off of

^Thats^ exactly what I always thought. Reed, plus Sue were scientist that bounced complex ideas with each other, and they fell in love. I know she's not a scientist, but that's what I always thought. (+)
